As Alien you can upgrad the weapon Strength with focus.
This also affects xenoide, so xenoide is 100% stronger with focus, and THIS ROCKS <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
XEANO isn't stronger unless you use FOCUS, but the new Xeano is much more effective in general. The range of normal Xeano has been increased (or seems that way) and now has a nice push-back effect that can send you flying if you survive to blast.
HA/reg armor vs a normal Xeano will just be pushed back and a hurt. HA/reg armor vs a FOCUS Xeano will kill level 3 non HA aromor marines, and HA will take a huge hit and be tossed back FAR!
The new FOCUS is great to use but hard to use also.
Sweeet... this may just make me want to come back to playing NS again (sorry couldnt take the pubs anymore It was either play as aliens and win or play as marines and lose) But this looks to take what I hate about NS out the commander dont get me wrong its a cool idea just totally **** me up Im stuck with some **** **** and if He doesnt do good I get screwed but with NS:Combat looks like Its all bout you finally getting back to a FPS/skilled game <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> hot damn say whats the release date on this?
Ok, nice big picture fest here... (just what we all need in here)

First up: the daimos hall of death <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> (most of the initial fighting ive seen goes on in here)
Next we have the hive, about to get blown to pieces, and a poor lil' gorge about to die <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Now we get to co_faceoff pics... Lets do esuna some just here - here we have him mauling a marine to death, just before he explodes (pity i missed the actual explosion <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> )

You probably start at lv. 1, but if your team kills one lv. 10 dude in your vicinity you'd probably go up 3 levels...
BTW, nice looking Steam menu <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Level 1 weapons > shotgun > level 2 weapons, and only then an hmg or gl ( you can switch weapons if you have another + to spend)
Level 1 armor > level 2 armor > jp/hmg, or level 3 armor
And that is me and a lvl 10 skulk with leap,xeno and all the upgrades u see(the pheremones looking thing is focus) <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

That doesn't answer his question.
Let me put it this way -
Is xeno stronger in combat with each level?
As Alien you can upgrad the weapon Strength with focus.
This also affects xenoide, so xenoide is 100% stronger with focus, and THIS ROCKS <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
you can kill everyone, except a HA guys.
The range of normal Xeano has been increased (or seems that way) and now has a nice push-back effect that can send you flying if you survive to blast.
HA/reg armor vs a normal Xeano will just be pushed back and a hurt.
HA/reg armor vs a FOCUS Xeano will kill level 3 non HA aromor marines, and HA will take a huge hit and be tossed back FAR!
The new FOCUS is great to use but hard to use also.

MASS ownage, u can kill a few too many people imo, and with 150+hp, leap and cara, it is HARD to kill u before you can xeno.
alien:
hang around a good player and level up, get cloaking
cloak and follow player, helping if necessary
level up
marine:
stick with high level groups
pray
get resupply, then shotgun, then jetpack or HA
pray more
